Pecans in a pasture ?

I have access to free pecans, all I care to harvest, but they are in a horse
pasture, and of course, there is manure scattered about under the trees.
Are these pecans safe to eat? The idea of eating pecans that have fallen
where the horses deposit their manure has me a bit concerned about health
issues. Does anyone have an opinion? TIA


I sympathized with your dilemma, and then realized that nuts fall
where there is poop of all sorts -- mostly squirrel around here. If
it's *noticable*, you might want to brush and then rinse, but I've
been picking up nuts from the ground and shelling and using with no
ill effects for years.

hi Mad,

Your long-time friends in the group are probably too polite to say
anything, but you don't really mean that, do you? Not in this particular
thread, anyway?
